Oh, patents! Valentino Rockstud sandal

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The Valentino Rockstud™* city sandal, with a 60 cm (2.5-inch) heel, is a patented invention. The US design patent, USD811703, titled Shoe, was awarded to Stefano Sassi, former Chief Executive of the Valentino Fashion Group, on March 6, 2018. The patent was then assigned to Valentino S.p.A, in Milan Italy.

Below, the patent Figure 1 depicts a perspective view of the city sandal with Rockstud™ straps. An image of the marketed Rockstud™ city sandal is shown beneath in a Valentino poudre shade of leather.





Note
* As a reminder, the Valentino Rockstud trademark, decorating all things Valentino, was inspired by the cut-diamond-shaped stones, adorning the architecture of old Palazzi in the Italian city of Rome. Introduced in 2010, and re-introduced in 2016, the Valentino Rockstud™ is now an inseparable Valentino symbol, at the intersection of rebellion and high fashion.
